I did extensive searching and found no "Official owners thread". ... all I found was this thread discussing LG's unveiling of the model line:

But basically, it would be great if someone could test Red Sparrow on this player. Especially if they have an LG OLED. I am very intrigued by what I experienced yesterday. LG's support of their TV's is very good, firmware regularly released and information given to show what the FW update does.

The UBK80 features one HDMI output, while a USB port lets you play video, music and images from a USB storage device. To help narrow down the above list, we only chose products that shipped with gorgeous HD screens, as big as 10.5 inches, that played a wide variety of content. In addition to offering DVD support, we preferred headrest DVD players that also offered support for HDMI, so you can stream from a laptop, USB flash drive, and SD card. Some also possess a 270-degree rotation to switch between portrait and landscape mode, further enhancing one’s audio formats and providing a clearer watching experience.

Solution: Thanks to @ mikez28 In the menu turn the Simple-Link feature off. The UBK90 will no longer turn on when turning on your set. What I noticed was kind of soft was regular blu ray upscaled to 4K before being sent to the TV. Sometimes this is hard to judge because not every transfer is equal. Some movies have a soft transfer because the studio just didn't do a very good job. However, I'm more inclined to think it was an upscaling issue in my particular case because I was testing with a Pixar film. Those things are always sharp as far as I know. Plus as I mentioned, Coco streamed via Netflix looked amazing. It wasn't the same movie but a similar CGI animated film. I don't think regular HD streamed should look sharper than Blu Ray. The bitrate on the physical media is much higher and more stable. When you turn this Panasonic on for the first time, you'll be guided through the setup process with a handy on-screen walkthrough. I turn on the player and am greeted with a super blurry LG logo and then the sparse menu. The menu looked blurry as well. I know that the interface on these budget players usually aren't rendered in 4K, but it still seemed off. I popped in the Brave blu ray as my first test to see how standard 1080p content would play. I found the image to be extremely soft. Looked kind of like the menu. I verified that the TV was receiving a 4K signal from the player upscaling the blu ray. I figure this soft image is not normal, so I hunt down another HDMI cable. I grab the one that I was using between my PS4 and the plasma the OLED was replacing. Things visibly improved. The menu wasn't as blurry and the Brave disc seemed much sharper. However it still seemed a bit soft. I know that the C8 is capable of upscaling 1080p content quite nicely because hours before the family and I watched Coco via Netflix. It looked amazing, much better than the Brave disc and that Coco stream was only 1080p.
